hi:) i just found this site via google and found it intresting. But i’ve noticed that people list basically their high school resume to see if they’d get into their first choice college. As of right now, mine is William and Mary, but i was wondering if my chances of admission would be less then a kid who has more experience then me because of what is offered at thier school? My school is small and to me, doesn’t offer much. We have only 1 AP class, and the courses that are “advanced” are really just putting the “gifted and talented” in the advanced class so we can go at our own pace, but really it’s just the same as the regular class. During senior year, college chemistry, english, and calc is offered. I’m in all advanced classes, except for math. i also have a decent amount of ECs so far (i’m only going into junior year).So basically, i have/am going to get alot of the experience my school has to offer, but would someone who goes to a better school then me have better chances because of what there school has to offer? is there anything else i can do to increase my chances of getting into WM?
any advice from anyone would be great.Thanks!!! :D

p.s. i live in new york.
